Offered for the first time by the original owner, this custom-designed Deck House is set on 26 acres with a rare blend of open land, wooded privacy, and direct river frontage. Approximately 18 acres are open and 8 wooded, with nearly 700 feet of frontage along both Tiger Valley Road and the Rush River. Thoughtfully designed with passive solar efficiency in mind, the home is centered around a dramatic two-story, south-facing solarium with a full brick fireplace that acts as thermal mass. Expansive southern exposure and carefully designed overhangs maximize natural light and seasonal efficiency. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a dedicated main-level office with south-facing sliding doors. Interior features include solid oak hardwood flooring, ceramic tile over a concrete slab for energy efficiency, mahogany woodwork, tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings, and exposed post-and-beam construction that creates an open, airy feel throughout. The kitchen provides exceptional storage with two pantry closets totaling approximately 12 feet, along with a large island offering plenty of room for hosting and everyday living. The dining area captures beautiful western sunset views, while the family room features a wall of windows and direct access to the patio. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity, jetted tub, and separate shower. Secondary bedrooms offer ample space and natural light, including one with a loft feature. Outdoor features include a 1,200-foot tree-lined driveway, mature landscaping, a stone paver patio with fire pit overlooking rolling hills for complete privacy, and a trail through the wooded section leading directly to the river. Additional highlights include a brand new roof (2026), whole-house Generac generator (propane), tankless propane water heater and propane stove, two HVAC systems, two wells and septic system, 24x20 attached garage, and a 16x20 kennel/workshop with a 20x20 equipment shed. Located in Rappahannock County, approximately 23 minutes to Warrenton and about 1 mile from The Inn at Little Washington. A truly unique opportunity to own a private, energy-efficient retreat with usable land and direct river access.
